The Crocodile - Belltown music venue central to grunge

The Crocodile opened in Belltown in 1991 and became a central club for Seattle's 1990s alternative and grunge scenes. It hosted influential early performances by local bands such as Mudhoney and Soundgarden and became a regular stop for regional and national acts. The venue has been the site of album-release shows, benefit concerts, and numerous performances that trace the development of Seattle's modern music history.
